           Summary: Wine User's Guide -incomplete information about
                    compilation
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3

Hallo,
the paragraph that describes installing Wine from source should be more verbose.
For example, during bug reporting process I have been told, that in order to
enable CUPS support in compiled Wine, the libcupsys2-dev package should be
installed in system. There is no mention in documentation about such needs, and
.configure has complained only about missing x11-dev libraries, that I have
resolved quickly.

I think, printing is such a notorious thing when You use computer, so that any
steps necessarry to gain this kind of functionality should be mentioned in the
Guide.

I have no deeper knowledge, what are the other such dependencies. For example, I
don't know whether it is necessarry to install some packages to get sound
working in compiled Wine etc.

So please, if there are some dependencies like the libcupsys2-dev one, can
somebody competent create a neat table and insert it to the User's Guide,
chapter discussing the compilation?
